Jurors ask for exhibit list in Hernandez trial

Jurors return to deliberate in Aaron Hernandez trial

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Jurors in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez have asked for a list of the 439 exhibits they have to sift through as they decide whether to convict him.

Judge Susan Garsh said Wednesday she received a note asking for an exhibit list.

439 is a lot, no?

Does that mean they are gonna let him off on a circumstantial case?

I wouldnt look too much into it at this point.

It could be 11-1 to convict and someone just has a question on one piece of evidence. Or it could be 6-6 and they are completely deadlocked and decided to go piece by piece through the evidence.

We just don't know.

Back slaps and head nods

Always impeccably dressed in suit and tie brought in by his defense team, Hernandez quickly scans the courtroom, usually starting with the rows of seats directly behind him

The front row is reserved for his family. Some days, none of his relatives is there. But when his mother, fiancée, brother and other friends attend, he winks, nods, smiles, jokes, laughs, flirts with his fiancée and mouths greetings to them including "'thanks for coming' and 'I love you.'"

Twice, he nodded his head and smiled at me.

It's not unusual for his lawyers to slap him on his back and huddle before court begins, appearing at ease. They've been representing him since June 2013
